I'll be the first to admit Michael Crabtree is not winning any congeniality contests. My cousin had a run-in with him several years ago. She said the guy was full of himself and a real prick. She also met Patrick Willis, who she said was the polar opposite of Crabtree, humble, and a total gentleman. So this story about Crabree and Sherman last Summer doesn't surprise me. In other words, I'm sure Crabtree wasn't the best sport after the game clinching play.
The greater issue here, that applies to everyone, is, you have two ways to go when someone does something upsetting. You can take the high road and elevate yourself, or you can sink to the other's level. By doing what he did, Sherman shrank to Crabtree's level.Â
I had a good friend today tell me she looked up where Sherman went to school after reading a story about his post-game rant. Suffice it to say Stanford went down a notch in her book, and I'm sure she isn't the only one.
